Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh are spending most of their on-court time with the G-League's Salt Lake City Stars. What's going on, and how do they feel about it?
Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks shoots the ball while contested by Portland Trail Blazers guard Skylar Mays during the second half of an NBA preseason basketball game Oct. 14 in Salt Lake City.That’s more disappointing in the case of Hendricks, last year’s No. 9 pick, than it is for Sensabaugh, the No. 27 pick. Most lottery picks do at least make the rotation their rookie year, and Hendricks hasn’t.
Frankly, the evidence we, the public have, says the coaching staff is probably right. While Hendricks has only played a combined 61 minutes in a Jazz uniform so far across five preseason games and one blowout regular season game,looked out of his depth in that time. Hendricks struggled to find his place in the Jazz’s defense, didn’t always run hard in transition, and didn’t score efficiently when he did have the ball.

Dejounte Murray hardly played as a rookie and eventually became an All-Star with the Spurs. Gerald Wallace did with Charlotte, too. Michael Redd is another example, with the Bucks.
